About Your Trip

Head out with one of the premier duck guides in South Texas in Ryan. His normal bag consists of: redhead, pintails, teal, widgeon, blue bills, gadwall, and much more, with occasional goose in the mix as well. Trips include decoys, blinds, waders, retrievers and bird cleaning as well.

You will ride out to the blind aboard Ryan's air boat. The all-terrain vessel can take you back into the shallowest of water or even cut across marshland so he can drop you straight at the blind.

Beyond a myriads of blinds set up across the South Texas coast, Ryan also has two pontoon boats outfitted as mobile duck blinds as well. He'll often bring his stove along too so you can enjoy some hot breakfast while you hunt. (and during the cold months: huddle by it for warmth as well!)

Make sure to bring your own Texas hunting license and duck stamp, eye protection (amber polarized fishing glasses recommended), and food and drinks. Arrangements will be made for pick up location.

Trips are chartered out of Arroyo City and Port Mansfield

Enjoy the wildlife in the bay. See wildlife in their natural habitat, and possibly an alligator! Go places no other boat can go. The experience of riding an airboat is like no other!

About Your Guide

Independent Guide
Captain Ryan started fishing in the bay as a boy, and has loved it ever since. He enjoys being with people on the bay and showing them the techniques that he use to catch monster fish. Although Ryan uses a variety of techniques, he prefer sight-fishing in the clear water and poling his clients up to tailing Reds. It's always great to see my clients catch their first fish!

Captain Ryan started fishing in the bay as a boy, and has loved it ever since. He enjoys being with people on the bay and showing them the techniques that he use to catch monster fish. Although Ryan uses a variety of techniques, he prefer sight-fishing in the clear water and poling his clients up to tailing Reds. It's always great to see my clients catch their first fish! Fishing is something that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated!

Ryan also has years of experience running wingshooting trips in the US and in Mexico, including eight yearsin Mexican bird lodges. If you're looking for a great hunt, Ryan is your man!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
